In case any developers are reading that are interested, I thought I'd mention the problems I had during install of potato from floppies.
First, the reason why I chose to install potato, is because I was unable to install debian after buing two different books with slink on them. I downloaded the rescue and driver floppies from ftp.debian.org, and began the installation. After being prompted to configure modules, I setup the tulip driver for my Kensington KNE110TX ethernet card. This allowed me to download base2_2.tgz using http during the install. When setting up lilo, I asked to install lilo in the MBR. After rebooting, linux didn't boot. I used my boot floppy, and found that lilo.conf was setup with boot=/dev/hda6 instead of boot=/dev/hda. Also, the modules I setup were not included in /etc/modules, and /etc/init.d/network was not setup (/etc/resolv.conf had been setup). After fixing the above problems, and rebooting, I used the simple task installer to install almost every task. After, the packages were installed, I was presented with a login prompt. Is this the normal way that the install ends? The tasks I chose apparently didn't include man. I think this is less than optimal for a new user. While I'm ranting, I'd like to warn any new users about two debian books that I bought: The 1st edition of a book from New rider has the wrong CD in it, so you can't install debian without sending in for a replacement CD. The debin book from SAMS that I got has corrupted driver and base archives on it. Kendall
